[Tex/LaTex] How to make an enumerate sublist start at something other than .1

Question

I changed the list order

\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\theenumii}

\renewcommand{\theenumii}{\theenumi.\arabic{enumii}.}

\begin{enumerate}

\setcounter{enumi}{2}

\item Third item

\end{enumerate}

But I can't change the sublist order

\begin{enumerate}

\setcounter{enumi}{2}

\item Third item

  \begin{enumerate}

  \setcounter{enumi}{3}

  \item item 3.4

  \item item 3.5

  \end{enumerate}

\end{enumerate}

Is it possible change the sublist order? I need to start the sublist with the item 3.4

Answer 1

You presumably want

\setcounter{enumii}{3}

to set the level 2 list, but the enumitem package gives a nicer interface to such things.
